Goal:
From my backup box on my local network, knowing the Wifi MAC address of my laptop, I would like to dynamically identify which ip address is attributed to my laptop.
The aim is to store this ip address in a local variable and that this information is retrieved by another backup script
Problem:
Calling the command nmap, as root user I want to write a script that will extract the ip address from the MAC address of my laptop.
Question:
How would you do that and with which script language?
Shell, perl, python?
Example:
from the result of nmap and with the MAC address X1:X2:3X:X4:X5:Y6, I want to extract:
Many thanks for any input!
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Hi everyone.
I'm looking for a way to extract the video card properties (Name, Driver version, amount of vram). I've managed to deal with nVidia cards, but nothing came for ATI/AMD cards and other kind of chipsets. Can someone point a way to do this?
Thanks. (4 Replies)

bptojdb
bptojdb(8) System Manager's Manual bptojdb(8)NAME
bptojdb - Converts bootptab entries into permanent, static IP entries for JOIN databases.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/bptojdb [-m | -f] filename
OPTIONS
Create client IDs for Microsoft DHCP clients. Microsoft does not use the client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier.
Instead, it prepends a 01 (Ethernet) to the MAC address and changes the hardware type to 0 (generic). If the clients in your bootptab file
are Microsoft clients, you will need to use the -m option. Create client IDs for FTP Software's DHCP clients. FTP Software does not use
the client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier. Instead, it creates a 16-byte client identifier with the prefix "cid-". If
the clients in your bootptab file are FTP Software DHCP clients, you will need to use the -f option.
DESCRIPTION
The bptojdb program reads entries in a standard bootptab file and creates permanent, static IP entries for the JOIN databases. After read-
ing the bootptab file, bptojdb displays to the standard output entries in a format suitable for the jdbmod utility. Each MAC address in the
bootptab file is given a static IP address with a permanent lease. To store the information in the JOIN databases, run jdbmod with the
converted data. For example: bptojdb bootptab | jdbmod
